Mechanical Engineering

Students who have an interest in the working and making of machines, manufacturing processes, and machine design may take up this course.
B.E./B.TECH. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING: BASIC COURSE DETAILS
It is a 4-years long undergraduate level degree programme. The 4-years duration is divided into 8 semesters, each semester lasting a period of 6-months. During different semesters, students will have to face separate sets of theoretical subjects as well as practical lab sessions and workshops. Workshops form an integral part of BE/B.Tech mechanical engineering programme, which helps students gain hands-on experience.
SCOPE, SALARY AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Mechanical engineering is a core and evergreen branch. Almost all core industries and manufacturing units make use of machines. Thus, for functioning and maintenance of machines, qualified mechanical engineers are needed by such industries!
The point is- there are ample amounts of job opportunities for BE/B.Tech mechanical engineering graduates in government as well as private sector. When it comes to the government sector, organisations and departments like- Indian Railways, DRDO, Indian Armed Forces, BHEL, PWD, NHAI, State Wise Road Transport boards, etc. recruit mechanical engineers.
The private sector offers, even more, job opportunities. Small, medium and large scale manufacturing units hire large numbers of mechanical engineers to function efficiently. Automobile firms also recruit qualified mechanical engineering graduates. Starting salary (depends on different factors) is generally between 2-4.5 Lakhs per year, in case of graduates.
In the above-mentioned organisations and sectors, BE/B.Tech mechanical engineering graduates may take up the following roles-
Design Engineer
Purchase and Quality Control Executive
Assistant Mechanical Engineer
Mechanical Engineer
Graduates, after completing PG M.Tech programme, may take up teaching job also. By pursuing Ph.D programme, one may also take up a job in the research and development sector.
